Some social media users were not very happy with the new site dedicated to royalty.
“Imagine, saying, you want to live an independent life, start a website that's not based on royalty, and it's failing,” wrote one user on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Now imagine having to admit defeat and go back to using your royal titles and coat of arms because the deals have dried up. I can't stop laughing at them! They're the equivalent of a fake Prada.”

Another user posted: “So they left the racist and cruel monarchy to be private citizens… But they have gone back to using the titles and connection to the monarchy, even using Meghan's coat of arms that the empire 2.0 monarchy gave her and her crown. So I guess we failed at being celebrities and we want to come back.”
But other fans were in celebration mode and congratulated Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on their new place.
